First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Trump crossed the Rubicon the day he came down that escalator.
And he’s been fighting ever since.
Against a domestic enemy that doesn’t wear a uniform, hides in plain sight, has an army of bureaucrats at its command, and control of our treasury.
Washington had it easier.
And it still took him years.
FBI just jealous..so far..that they can’t do a whole bunch of heart punches like their Russian colleagues. They probably have guys training on body bags for when given the go ahead. But the street guys are all ok...it’s just the brass that’s dirty.
He’s said he’d pardon all these victims of the State.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
“the plan likely is to go for “humiliation” and place him in an orange jumpsuit, handcuff him, and do the “prisoner transport routine.””
For a misdemeanor.
Trump not pardoning all the J6ers, Snowden and Assange is coming back to bite him. He could have also seized voting machines. He didn’t, and it cost him.
None of the citizens of the West live in a free country.
You don’t live in a free country.
Stop pretending that you do.
Not one thing. He doesn’t care about them.
He has?
Just once I’d like to hear of the 40 man goon squad being met by 100 armed and pissed off patriots.
The J6-ers were not charged until after he left office. As far as not seizing the voting machines or taking other measures to prevent Biden from taking office, that’s easier said than done. I would have like to have seen him be more aggressive in that regard, but then again I wasn’t in the position he was in and was not privy to everything he was aware of, and neither were you.
He was aggressive in trying to prevent Biden from taking office, through legal means, but he wasn’t prepared to use extra-legal measures to do so. I’ll yield to his judgement on that, because he was in a better position to assess the risks of doing so than you or I. He withdrew, regrouped and prepared to fight another day, which is what he’s doing now. That’s sometimes tactically necessary in warfare.
>>”..it still took him [Washington] years.”
That bears repeating. Winning a war never happens as quickly as we would like, but losing one can happen in short order. The Americans of Washington’s time understood that better than most Americans of today. They had greater patience and were willing to persevere under much greater depredation than what we’re currently experiencing.
